Manchester City outcast Hart still striving for greatness

Joe Hart may be widely recognised as the best goalkeeper in the UK but the Manchester City stopper insists he will never give up on striving for greatness.

Hart has played 65 times for England and remains number one despite losing his club place at Manchester City.

The 29-year-old had to seek regular football away from the Etihad Stadium after the arrival of head coach Pep Guardiola and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and joined Serie A side Torino on a season-long loan.

And Hart said: “I need to improve and improve all the time because I’m still learning the game and the game is changing all the time; I love trying to improve – I love that challenge. I want to keep developing until I physically can’t.

“I have to think selfishly about the whole thing and try to be what I’m capable of being. People have their opinions and will make statements on how things are and what they are.

“They might be right, they might be bang on. Some people you struggle to argue with – they’ve got a lot of strong backing to what they say and what they do. But I can only really look after me.

“I’m always looking, I’m always watching – I see new ideas, I like new ideas and I’ve got to work to my capabilities. Whatever I’m capable of, I need to be the best I can.”
